 
Westfield Infant Toddler Services offers toddler groups for children
18-36 months old. Our staff is trained in techniques to maximize
your child’s socialization and developmental skills and we
always maintain a 3:1 staff/child ratio. Our groups include children
receiving early intervention services as well as their typically
developing community peers when space is available. There is also
a nominal fee to cover snack and art materials ($10 for 3 months).
If you are interested in your child attending one of our playgroups
or have questions about which playgroup might be the best match
for your child please contact us Monday-Friday from 8:00am-5:00pm
at (413) 568-3942 or send us an email.

sharing stories and experiences in a supportive environment.
